Some handed out signs mocked up to look like the city’s notices to vacate, advertising a Monday-morning “eviction block party.” Dozens attended a teach-in on resistance tactics, including how to stay safe in the face of rubber bullets, tear-gas canisters and pepper spray.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced Friday that despite his sympathy for the protesters’ cause, it was time for the camp of 500 tents to leave for the sake of public health and safety.

“I have no illusions that everybody is going to leave,” he said. “We anticipate that we will have to make arrests.”

But he added, “We certainly will not be the first ones to apply force.”
